Who Edited Susan Rice’s Talking Points, And Where’s Hillary Clinton?

Yesterday’s testimony of General David Petraeus, the former director of the CIA, pretty much settles the dispute over what the administration knew about the 9/11 terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi. They knew it was a terrorist attack but continued to tell the public it was a spontaneous uprising brought about by some obscure film. So someone in the administration edited the talking points given to UN Ambassador Susan Rice before she went out repeating the false claims on national television.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been flying under the radar in the investigation.

But Mr. Petraeus wasn’t responsible for lax consulate security or the U.S. policy that led to the Libya debacle. That’s Mrs. Clinton’s bailiwick. Last month in interviews from deepest Peru, the Secretary of State said “I take responsibility” for Benghazi.

Except she hasn’t. She was conveniently out of the country for this week’s House Foreign Affairs hearing, and Senate Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry refuses to hold any hearings on Benghazi. His loyalty may get him a cabinet job, while Carl Levin’s Armed Services Committee also pretends nothing much happened in Libya.

The targets of the attacks and its first victims were diplomats. Chris Stevens died of smoke inhalation in the blaze, becoming the first American ambassador killed in the line of duty in over 30 years. A junior colleague also died. These men were Mrs. Clinton’s “responsibility.” Several hours after the assault on the consulate, members of the jihadist militia Ansar al-Shariah turned on the CIA compound about a mile away, killing two of Mr. Petraeus’s men.

In Congressional hearings last month, career State officials admitted that threat warnings from Benghazi were overlooked and requests for better security turned down. They said Foggy Bottom misjudged the ability of a weak Libyan state to protect them. It’s not clear how high up the chain these concerns went, but over to you, Mrs. Clinton. (Read More)

Clinton may have been staying out of the public eye, but she still assured the father of Tyrone Woods that the maker of the video would be punished for killing Woods, even though the video maker had nothing to do with Woods’s death. Neither Clinton, nor President Obama, have had to answer for the failed policies that led up to the Benghazi attack, or the mess that’s happening in Syria and across the middle east.

No one had to edit talking points for Susan Rice. Remember that under Obama her position as Ambassador to the UN was made a Cabinet level position and was no longer under the Secretary of State. Susan Rice is one of Obama’s best buddies, not some naive little waif who got lied to. She’s in this up to her lying eyeballs. I mean none of this to exonerate Hillary in any way, but it defies logic to think that Rice had to be told to lie. I’m sure it comes as easily to her as to Obama himself.

I believe this will fall by the way side in a few weeks. What has happened to “Fast and Furious?” No where in the headlines can one find this story. The same fate will happen to this one. Why? Because of the silence of the American buffoon, too busy with “Dancing with the Stars”, and the lack of testosterone of the Repoopblican “leaders.”

This administration is up to its eye brows in manure. The State Dept trained young ME students how to use social media to organize riots (think Iran 1979). The significance of Wikileaks was buried. Barry set the table with his Cairo 2009 speech. Hillary approved the Istanbul Process for Sharia blasphemy laws violating our First Amendment. Barry purged all references to radical I extremism and terrorists. USAID and requested humanitarian aid appropriations was used to arm the extremists to overthrow our allied leaders (gunrunning + tyranny). The U.N. R2P was used to start the Libyan war on a false premise. Christians, Jews, women and children were violated, tortured, murdered by the armed extremists. Hillary solicited and hired an Army of Private Security Contractors to protect our diplomats, dictated the legal documents and rules of engagement of no live munitions employing Libyan tribesmen. Pleas for additional security before 9/11 were rejected. Our government watched on live feed the 9 hours of attacks and abandoned our diplomats, personnel, and innocent Americans. Bless the two heroes who saved the 30 Americans who escaped Libya.
